Description
Photograph of a view of Angel's Camp in Utica Park, Calaveras County, ca.1930. An old dumpcart rides along a set of tracks that run between two posts in the entrance of the park. Hanging below, another piece of old machinery hangs from the tracks. The posts, which appear to be steel, are built into the two rock walls that sit on either side of the stone steps leading from the foreground. Several houses stand on top of a small hill in the background while trees and bushes stand immediately beyond the entrance. Picture file card reads "Park is located on the land where the Utica Mine was discovered in the early 1860's. Sine 1919, when the property was abandoned, the land has been used as a park. Note the old machinery -- dump carts, etc. at the entrance of the park". Photoprint reads "The entrance consists of old mining machinery. The park occupies the claims of the Utica Mine, ca.1860. For several years the mine showed profit of $1,800,00 annually. In 1919 the property was abandoned and converted into a park".
